We're about to apply some RSU's to our current 5.3 system. System has
been running great without issues.
Right now, I'd like to minimize the downtime for our users. Since we're
running z/Linux with production servers.
Is running SERVICE EXEC distruptive to the running system? I would think
PUT2PROD would be.
Can I run SERVICE to apply the service and then at a later time when we
schedule an outage, I can run PUT2PROD and SHUTDOWN/re-IPL?
Thanks
Run SERVICE at any time. When you are ready run PUT2PROD and re-IPL.
Unlike some systems PUT2PROD will not force a re-IPL but you should do
one soon after it runs if there were updates to the CP NUCLEUS on the RSU.
